Summary:
Schools in Alpaugh, California, include three schools serving kindergarten through grade 12: California Online Public Schools Central Valley (K–12), Alpaugh Elementary (K–8), and Alpaugh -Senior High (grades 9–12), with enrollments of 729, 249, and 96. The clearest shared challenge is math: in 2024–2025, the schools averaged 12% proficiency, 25 percentage points below California’s 37%; their average ELA result was 29%, 20 points below the state’s 49%. Math is the strongest overall concern compared with state results.
California Online Public Schools Central Valley led the three-school group in 2024–2025 all-grade ELA (39%) and math (25%), though both scores were below state results. Alpaugh Elementary had the lowest ELA result that year, at 15%, while Alpaugh -Senior High had the lowest math result, at 4%. In 2025–2026, the high school’s science proficiency was just above the state’s—36.4% versus 36.0%—but its math was 6% compared with 38% statewide. Because the schools serve different grades, all-grade comparisons are broad indicators rather than direct grade-for-grade comparisons.
Alpaugh Elementary improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, with ELA up 8 percentage points to 23% and math up 9 points to 17%; science fell 6 points to 9%. At Alpaugh -Senior High, science was a relative strength, while graduation outcomes were strong: the 2025–2026 graduation rate was 100% and dropout rate 0%, versus 88% and 8% statewide. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for the elementary school rose from 2 in 2024–2025 to 14 in 2025–2026; the high school rose from 23 to 41, still below its earlier 44. As context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 69% at the online school, 79% at the elementary school, and 82% at the high school; the two Alpaugh schools reported student–teacher ratios of 22.9 and 14.1, respectively.
